It wouldn't surprise me either way -- Becks being a good Premiership forward or a total bust.
But I disagree that its bad business for Newcastle. They get a good look at him...its essentially a rent-to-buy. They don't even need to sign him to a new contract right now -- might take some balls to play it that way...but the option is available to him. If they play that game they get a good look at him on the cheap and, if they like what they see they lock him up at a reasonable wage.

OK he's a good third division striker but they're almost certainly set on their ay back to the Premiership - he may pick up a few goals for them between now nd the end of the season but he's a big financial gamble to take for a couple f years presumably on top level wages -does anyone on the list think he's remiership quality or that he can get there by August? IMHO of all the players who turmed their back on Leeds over the years, he's the ost certain to fall under "The curse of Billy" - by Christmas the Barcodes will e offering him on loan to anyone in the Championship and they'll still pay half is wages.
